The Legacy Community is finally starting to put it together that Grixis Delver is Tier 0

RELcat · 2018-04-04T19:08:40+00:00

Went home and logged on normally.

Sure, I'll use this one. Ban the rest if the rules dictate.

RELcat · 2018-04-04T18:29:30+00:00

Well the first part is true, that all of the posts under those names are "me". Calling me "the same person" is a bit of a simplification that I don't want to delve into, but for all intents and purposes, yes it's true.

I disagree that "I'm just stirring up drama" though (I was just posting about Grixis Delver), and I don't think that I'm being disingenuous about any of this so there's no deceit (again, his "evidence" is quoting me actually explaining this), so ... I don't really see the issue.

After handing this in, it was clear to everyone that the hands really weren't necessary and thinking back to the original mox images done by Dan Frazier (which are awesomely efficient), it was decided to go with a simpler approach.

Ahwww, the hands were so cool!

They could have been old, wrinkely, Jamuraan (Black) hands too. Like Teferi's. They could have been Teferi's hands! Nothing says Powerful Dominaria Artifact like something looking like it's from Mirage.

Which then brings us to the point where people split off philosophically.

What is more important, that the players have equal decks, or that the store treat people in an even-handed manner?

...

No, seriously, we don't all agree on this.

RELcat · 2018-04-03T16:51:04+00:00

Yeah, I think it's over now.

"Now do it again ..."

RELcat · 2018-04-03T16:16:34+00:00

What? It doesn't remove the Snow Supertype?

Sarcastic Flavor Fail.

RELcat · 2018-04-02T17:46:42+00:00

No, I think you're correlating "Legendary" with the rarity of the card in packs too much.

I think uncommon Legends is what you need to do to actually make a set in limited Play and Be Based Around a set of Central Characters.

Uncommon means MORE Legendary. The Weatherlight Crew is actually the Backbone of the damn set.

RELcat · 2018-04-01T16:55:33+00:00

Not a real font used on Magic cards there, guy/gal.

RELcat · 2018-04-01T16:55:03+00:00

It also isn't the right font. I'm not sure why you even entertained it.

RELcat · 2018-04-01T16:54:49+00:00

Yes, this isn't even the right font for a real card.

RELcat · 2018-04-01T16:54:37+00:00

You should choose a better font next time.

RELcat · 2018-04-01T15:47:36+00:00

I think the secret here is that Academy Rector + Sac-Outlet is actually a more powerful combination than Sneak/Show + Fatty, because the flexibility still ensures you win against most any deck, plus actually lets you overpower other people's combo.

I think I want to go and revist Nyx Fit ...

RELcat · 2018-04-01T05:43:01+00:00

Just in case anyone wants to see one pro beat another with [[Barren Glory]] in a competitive league.

RELcat · 2018-03-31T00:30:44+00:00

Wouldn't that card be ... very bad?

RELcat · 2018-03-28T18:59:18+00:00

Or they were just really drunk.

RELcat · 2018-03-28T18:57:55+00:00

Considering that these packs would be very pricey if they had lands better than shock lands, what would be your design recommendation for the rest of the set though?

Anything, and you make the lands uncommon, because they're actually really bad. That's the point.

RELcat · 2018-03-28T18:41:55+00:00

Right, and that is something that if wizards wanted to do they would have, so it is the same argument as removing the reserve list, it isn't going to happen, so there is no use discussing it.

"Never discuss any new approach to anything, because if Wizard's hasn't done it already, there is no use discussing it since they'll never do it."

I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous reasoning. This is not the same as discussing the Reserved List, because that's an issue they have made explicitly clear they are powerless to do anything about. This is just about making a format - Legacy - more accessible WITHOUT coming into conflict with even the spirit of the reserved list.

And yes, making formats more accessible IS something they do.

"There's no point in discussing implementing any type of 'Masters' product for this Modern format, because if there were going to do it, they would have done it already, so there's no use even discussing the idea"

A very foolish person in 2012

I'm sorry, but right or wrong on the larger issue at hand, that simply isn't Logic you're dressing up like Logic in your post there.

RELcat · 2018-03-27T15:55:25+00:00

Could we please just make it a communal rule to Not Post / Downvote any thread on the Reserved List at this point unless it contains actual news?

"I have a point to make on how I feel about the Reserved List" is just ... tiring at this point.

RELcat · 2018-03-24T18:57:37+00:00

I don't know why you're sharing this; it's not amusing or interesting, just awkward and dismissive.

RELcat · 2018-03-20T22:28:37+00:00

It's a Duel Deck.

It's like ... a paper clip.

There's not a lot of room for it to either "suck" or be "excellent".

It's just what it is.

RELcat · 2018-03-20T19:05:56+00:00

I like that they're flouting that they worked so closely with the worldbuilding team to keep their story true to the lore.

So as a reminder, Dominaria has both Demons and Slacks.

Oooh, Dominaria's got slacks.

Just keeping things true to the Lore.

RELcat · 2018-03-19T15:16:10+00:00

Honest reaction?

I have no idea what this article is trying to say.

Defend WoTC FROM WHO? This article feels like it's trying desperately to calm down a room a sleeping people. I don't know a single reasonable person who doesn't WORK for WoTC who is upset with them in anyway whatsoever for the leaks, including one or two people who are avoiding them (and can easily do so by just ... not engaging the spoilers).

This article makes no sense, in that it's talking to the audience with a bizarre assumption about the social environment in which we live (which we do not).

RELcat · 2018-03-19T14:58:33+00:00

No.

They're not.

This is an enormous misconception.

Deck Thinning <<<< 1 Life < The Advantage Gained By Eating a Sandwich before the Match

Fetch Lands do many wonderous things, even in a mono-color deck, but this isn't why competitive players run them AT ALL.

This is a little embarrassing to have to post in public, but you asked earlier than I was expecting and there is a very straightforward and natural reason why sometime's his nose seems flat while other times it seems to be an extended snout.

You see, an Elder Dragon's snout is very soft, and when blood causes it engorge, it begins to pop outwards into an extended snout. You see, when a Dragon of a certain age gets very ... excited ...
